Description
What drives people to commit crimes, and what do they feel afterward—how do they judge their actions? Perhaps the best understanding of the psychology of killers comes from a prison psychologist: it is with him that the convicted often share secrets, telling things they never said in court or to loved ones. Theodore Dalrymple spent many years working as a psychiatrist and prison doctor in London and Birmingham.
Over the course of his work, he encountered many horrifying, funny, and sad stories. He appeared as an expert in high-profile trials, treated murderers, robbers, and swindlers, and talked with their victims, prison guards, and lawyers. Combining compassion and irony in the narrative, the author draws a psychological portrait of a killer—and at the same time reveals the vices of modern society.
This audiobook lets you look anew at today’s justice system—at the relationship between law and society, at established stereotypes and fashionable social trends that sometimes prevent a sober assessment of criminals’ motives and the delivery of fair punishment.
